Results for tag: "Distance Measuring Equipment"

Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) is a type of avionics equipment used to measure the distance between two aircraft or between an aircraft and a ground station. It works by transmitting and receiving radio signals, which are then used to calculate the distance between the two points. DME is typically used in conjunction with other navigation systems, such as Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). It is also used to provide air traffic control with information about the location of aircraft. DME is an important component of modern avionics systems, providing pilots with accurate and reliable information about their position and the distance to other aircraft or ground stations. It is also used to provide air traffic controllers with information about the location of aircraft, allowing them to better manage air traffic. The DME market is highly competitive, with a number of companies offering a range of products and services. Major players in the market include Honeywell, Rockwell Collins, Garmin, Thales, and Universal Avionics. Show Less Read more
